    you won't think much of anything Pac did up until and arguably his 126 days then will you.

    Had he beaten Leonard, he gets the nod over Pacquiao but he didn't. When you analyze his other wins, they aren't much better than what Pacquiao has done.

    The wins over Benitez and Duran are his best, without doubt. Benitez was a fantastic fighter though he was fitting a bit over his prime weight. Beating Duran was good but destroying Duran? That's a special win.

    However, I think the Barrera win was better than any of Hearns'. I rank the Duran and Benitez wins alongside Cotto, Marquez and Morales. I think the wins over Ledwaba etc., are similar to Hearns' wins over Cuevas etc..

    The thing is though, Pacquiao hasn't shown the same weaknesses. He hasn't shown a poor chin or stamina, and, since being around his prime, he hasn't lost to decent fighters like Barkley either.

    I have them ranked similar but Pacquiao ahead by a little bit.

    How anyone can say that bull**** is beyond me.


    And for someone who says Hearns is a huge guy who beats smaller men.:? Hearns fought at 147 because that's what he weighed. And that was before the days of rehydration, so what's the ****in point??? You rate him lower because he's taller?!?!?

    :verysad Cotto at a catchweight of 145, after getting a gift against Clottey and the stuffing beaten out of him by Margarito. A gift in the second Marquez fight, an arguable win in the first fight after knocking down Marquez 3 friggin times. And beating Morales who just came off a loss to Zaheer Raheem, not to mention past his prime. SO THESE WINS ARE BETTER THAN A LEGENDARY KO ON DURAN AND OUTBOXING ONE OF THE TOP 5 DEFENSIVE FIGHTER EVERS???:scaredas:

    And you compare the victory over Cuevas to Manny's over Ledwaba??? :rofl

    I love both of these guy but in a head to head match up, of course you take Hearns. That doesn't take anything away from Pac though because like Duran, his resume is mostly gained from the lighter weights. Even then, Hitman has the edge in resume. Pac would have to beat Mayweather twice to surpass Tommy.

    This is just plain ridiculous!


    I don't know where some of these guys come from! Pac is a great fighter, but damn man! He hasn't done what Hearns has done.

    I am a Pac fan but I have to say that is some funny shite right there. I agree that Tommy is one of the most underrated boxers ever. I thought he beat SRL in the second fight (and I thought Ray walked on water when I was a kid).
